Edit: I guess this post is free advertising for these shitters, so I will describe what I previously linked.

There is this TV you can get for free but it has a ads on screen constantly and it has a camera pointed at you to record your reactions to ads and to ensure you don’t cover up the ad portion of the screen.

      I think people don’t understand that the processing abilities upscaling needs means adding smart functionality is basically free.

      That’s why I mentioned looking up the model number, I’m confident what that person said their TV was isn’t what it is.

      No “dumb” TV is going to be good at upscaling because of that. OP might think it is, but they’re probably mistaken about something

        Smart TV defines the extra functionality, not the processing hardware. If a smart TV has the Wi-Fi and streaming services disabled it is by definition NOT a smart TV.

          If a smart TV has the Wi-Fi and streaming services disabled

          If it’s disabled that doesn’t mean it disappears…

          And no one has linked or provided the model number of a good 4k that doesn’t have wifi.

          Maybe that’s what happening? People think not connecting WiFi means something doesn’t have wifi?

          Is that what you think?

          Edit:

          Oh, you’re the one who said they own a TV like that…

          You could easily prove your point by providing the model number, but you’re not, you’re just trying to argue.

          I don’t see the point in someone acting like that unless your trolling, so if you don’t want to say the model, I don’t see any point in trying to help anymore.
